Learn more about the benefits of variable and fixed interest rates as well as splitting your home loans.
When you apply for your home loan, one of your key decisions is to choose a fixed interest rate, a variable interest rate, or a combination of both. Throughout the life of your home loan, you’ll have the opportunity to switch between a fixed or variable interest rate, or to switch to a split rate home loan.
Each type of loan offers benefits so you can decide which suits your individual situation and your outlook on interest rate movements. If you currently have a Bank of Melbourne variable rate home loan and think a fixed rate is a better fit, we can help you make the switch or you can do this via internet banking.
